DSCF2984 Stagecoach East 21231 (AE12 CJJ) on the Busway at Histon - 29 Jun 2018

Friday 29 June 2018 (1134) – Stagecoach East 21231 (AE12 CJJ), a Wright Eclipse Urban 2 bodied Volvo B7RLE new in July 2012, at Histon on Busway service A.

A little story to tell regarding the young mother and her ‘twelve metre long’ double seat pushchair.

This was the third of three buses bunched and held up for a time whilst she attempted to park the pushchair in the forward area of the first of the buses, an Enviro400 double decker. (Isn’t it always the case that if there are already two pushchairs on the bus more will appear?). After the mothers already on the bus had unsuccessfully played musical spaces to try to make room for her this mother had to eventually get off but she was able to continue by using the third of the three buses. In a foreign accent I heard her ask the driver of this bus something along the lines of ‘Have you godda da spice?’. The driver had so the lady boarded with her pushchair and the bus continued.
